RUSHING 70 DEATH

i In the attempt to swim the Niagara
Whirlpool Rapids is no more reckless or
dangerous than Z to trife with disease
which each day secures a stronger hold
and hastens the end Of life. This is
specially true of rheumatism, neuralgia,
sciatica, and nervous headache, which
though perhaps slight at first are ex-s
tremely dangerous, and steadily secure q
frmer grip until at last the agony is unen-
durable and sudden death brings relief
These diseases can be cured BY the use
of Athlophoros which, in connection with
Athlophoros Pills, never fails when prop
erly used. Read the following from those
who have tested it. .@<1 a~ s..e- a. IS.
John s. Kennedy, Spearville, Kansas,
says: Nearly two years ago, four bottles
of Athlophoros cured me of rheumatism,
and have had no return Of the old COM
plafnt since" ..,<.., ...~ s..*
Mrs. A Newton, wife Of ex-Mayor New
ton, Des Moines, Iowa, says: g had
been great sufferer for years, and had re-
sorted to many remedies, but nothing
would do what Athlophoros did for me.
Athlophoros took the stiffness out of the
joints of. my fingers, which I had been
troubled with so long"
i Murray J. Cochran, Denison, Iowa, says:
ut is now two years since used Athlopho-
ros, and I have had no rheumatism since.
At the time used this medicine was Grip

were swollen so that had to cut my pants
in order to. wear them; my arms We're stiff
at the elbows; part of the time could not
feed myself While in this condition, was
advised to take Athlophoros which did.
After using few bottles, I was completely
cured.
Every druggist should keep Athloph oros
and Athlophoros Pills, but where they cam

If she was going to Folkestone it was no

driving it would take me until afternoon,
and there was no train until o'clock.

steamer drawing nearer every moment.
When she was within four miles Invent in

1t was a powerful glass, and with it I dis
tinctly saw a woman-apparently young,
pretty and lady-on the bridge.
Her dress was blown to one side in the
strong breeze and I could see that she had
all she could do to steady herself with one
hand while with the other she directed the

old skipper The man at the wheel, was,

For some minutes eyed this novel sight
Of young lady commanding channel

better sight saw quite plainly that the
lady was none other than my passenger
who was prevented from landing at
Dieppe! .rs
The way that woman handled the steamer
was astonishing, and have said that, al
though not stormy, it was fresh enough to
require steady nerve and sharp eye in
managing boat. The steamer was fully
rugged to sail, in case Of accident to the en-
gines, and noticed that the mainsail was
out, but somewhat reefed, to steady her.
Soon the "Fairy' was headed close up to the
wind and her speed reduced.
Then I saw boat lowered, and, consider

A VANDERBILT STORY.

How q Young Bostonian Secured an Inter-
view with the Commodore.
A veteran Boston broker tells the Boston
Transcript listener this story of Commodore
Vanderbilt, which he believes has never
been in print: =
IA good many years ago, just about the
time that Commodore Vanderbilt was build
ing up the New York Central, GER
tain young man in Boston came into pos
session, by the death of a relative, Of the
tidy little sum of twenty thousand dollars.
Twenty thousand dollars was more then
than it is to-day, and this young man had
visions of wealth untold He studied the
small local stock list in my Office day after
day without coming to any conclusion. At
last one day, seized by brilliant thought,
he broke out:"
".John, I'm going to see Vanderbilt about
it''
"About what?'
"About my placing my money"
II thought this was the maddest idea that
ever entered a human head. I told him
that the Commodore wouldn't waste twenty
seconds on twenty-thousand investment
But he would not be persuaded, and one
night, about ten o'clock, he rang the door
bell at the Vanderbilt residence After
SOME delay, a servant answered and demand
ed his business.
"'Here's my card,' said the young Bos-
tonian.. Mr.. John Smith, Boston. Tell the
Commodore that I must see him tonight
on business of the utmost Importance
Mr.. Vanderbilt is about to retire. re-
sponded the servant. you had better come
in the morning.
:" 1T may be too late, then, for both him
and me- Unjust see him tonight, if only for
five minutes. -.
!" The servant disappeared only to return
with the message from the Commodore that
he would see Mr.. Smith if the business was
of the utmost Importance. The Bostonian
followed the servant up into a little dress
ing-room, where stood the Commodore
wrapped in flannel garment of the night.
he had evidently got out Of bed to receive
the visitor. Ill.,.
"'Well, young man, what do you want'"
was the Commodore's impatient question.
"sCommodore Vanderbilt, have recently
come into possession Of twenty thousand
dollars, and have come on to New York to
ask you for information about the stock
market ts% s. ~. -
-! !" What the blank blank do you come to
me about the stock market for? Why don't
you go to some stock brokerg'
"'Because you are the stock market you,-
self, Commodore!" .... -. g" f..
".Look here, Mr.. Smith, said the 1nolli-
fed Commodore, 4 admire your cheek. I
think it deserves encouragement. Go down
to Wall street tomorrow morning. early.
Put your twenty thousand dollars md as
much more as you can raise into New York
Central. Don't ask me why, but 60 ard do

ing to be long. Lock up your stock and let
it alone; never mind what any body tells
you. Now get out Il ID

and narrated his experience.

No. He said he wasn't going to let Wander

sition of Stearns and Won der Abe.
The world championship game between
the Detroits and st. Louis Browns which
was scheduled for Chicago October II is of.
A few days ago President Spalding received
! letter from President Stearns asking the
lormer's opinion of q 81 and $50 tariff to
the game. Spalding was not slow to make
reply that he thought such charge out
rageously exorbitant and refusing to have
such an imposition practiced on his patrons.
Yesterday Stearns telegraphed Spalding
demanding an immediate answer to the
question if he would consent to the $50
tariff The Chicago president again refused
to consent to the charge. Stearns then
wired this message:
DETROIT Oct. la. G. SPALD1NG-Von der

not at all. Which shall it be?

To this Manager Spalding made this re-
ply:

LIST If we are deprived of the pleasure OF witness
ing the Detroit-St. Louis game on October II,
but If it is played our regular prices OF admis-
sion must be charged. Shall consider the
game OIL? Answer. A. G. SPALDING.
Late last night Stearns telegraped Spald-
ing to declare the game of, and it is doubt
full, therefore, if these two teams will be
seen in this city this fall. It will be rather
amusing to watch the success of such a
tariff, if adhered to in other cities. A fifty
and seventy-f1ve cent tariff was good enough
when the Chicagos and Browns were play
ing for the worlds championship last fall,
and it ought to be sufficient for the Detroits
and Browns this year. It may be money in
the pockets of Won der Abe and Stearns to
abandon the idea of travelling in vestibule
train and accept the common sense plan Of
charging reasonable prices to their games.
